Funny, this is Byrd’s effort, which Hillary joined…..but if you google Robert Byrd news, every article states Clinton/Byrd, as if Hillary came up with the idea. Ugh….. BUT, I am glad she’s supporting his effort.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, on the Senate floor just a few minutes ago, proposed Oct. 11, 2007 as the “expiration date” for the Iraq war.
“It is time to sunset the authorization for the war in Iraq,” she said. “If the president will not bring himself to accept reality, it is time for Congress to bring reality to him.”
A measure by Mrs. Clinton and Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia would end Congress’s use of force authorization five years to the day after the original use of force legislation took effect in 2002.
“I urge my colleagues to join Senator Byrd and me in supporting this effort to require a new authorization resolution for these new times,” she said.
